Yes, you can easily adjust your home's water pressure yourself if the issue involves adjusting the pressure-reducing valve (PRV) located near the main water shutoff where the supply line enters your house. By loosening the locknut and turning the adjustment bolt clockwise slightly, you can increase incoming water pressure to a higher psi. However, if municipal supply pressure is naturally low, valve adjustments will not help. Verification: Check a pressure gauge attached to an outdoor hose bibb before and after making adjustments.
